Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the conditioned, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Meditation often involves turning attention to a single point of reference. It is recognized as a component of almost all religions, and has been practiced for over 5,000 years. It is also practiced outside religious traditions. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual and/or psychophysical practices which may emphasize different goals -- from achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind.

Mindfulness of breathing is a simple and direct way of developing awareness and calm. With this practice we follow the natural flow of our breath, becoming more and more focused and fully present. This allows us to be more wholeheartedly engaged with life and less distracted and dissipated.

At Kung Fu Fitness, we practice Bando Meditation, which is  practice by ancient warriors’ from Myanmar (Burma). Bando Meditation focus on:


-Focus & Awareness
-Balance & Harmony
-Harnessing of qi energy
